Hi, I am Chris Scholten, a designer from the Netherlands. I was born in the 80's and was always interested in creating images. Following in my fathers footsteps I started drawing. My father quit from his hobby long before I was born, but the things he drew inspired me to get better.

I went to Mediacollege Amsterdam to become a Multimedia Designer in 2003. After this education I started working at a company I had an internship before. During this job I also went to the JUNIOR Academy Amsterdam trying to become an Art Director in the evening hours. This I passed within a year.

Hey all, I'm kinda working on all kinds of different projects at the moment, feeling that God wants to use me with my art. I am going to try to get better and better, hoping to have the support of many!

Hey all, I know alot of people are anxious to get the second version of my windows icons! I never suspected so many people would like the pack. Well I've started all over again, and made the look more refined, with a border etc. I'm not gonna show it right now, just be patient until it is finished!I'm also going to use it to promote my new website www.icolicious.com where everyone can download my icons! It's not yet operational, because I'm still working on it!

Israel, the Lord who created you says,Do not be afraidI will save you.I have called you by nameyou are mine.When you pass through deep waters, I will be with you;your troubles will not overwhelm you.When you pass through fire, you will not be burned;the hard trials that come will not hurt you.For I am the Lord your God,the holy God of Israel, who saves you.I will give up Egypt to set you free;I will give up Ethiopia and Seba.I will give up whole nations to save your life,because you are precious to meand because I love you and give you honor.Do not be afraidI am with you!

Isaiah 43:1-5

Wow... Amazing isn't it? Although God sais this to Israël I really believe that the love that He has, is for everyone. For those who do not know much about the bible, this is a verse found in the Old Testament. This means that it was part of an old covenant between God and Israël. We are living in a new covenant, the covenant of Jesus Christ' sacrifice. In the New Testament (the new covenant) God says similar things to us! But this passage just overwhelmed me with joy when I read it. He loves us so much, that He gave His only Son. To die for us.If you accepted Jesus as your saviour, then I believe this verse above applies to you aswel!

May God the Father bless you through His Son Jesus. And may the Holy Spirit praise Jesus through you!

I am crusified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Galatians 2:20

I just really wanted to share this bibleverse. It explains the true meaning of Christianity. That we could lay down our old lives and start living a new. But not living it ourselves but giving more and more of ourself to Jesus, so that He may live through us.

Having the Son of God living through us, what could be more satisfying? I really am not on the point of being that far, but I really really want to! Why? He forgave me my trespasses by dying the most terrible death imaginable. Not the physical death that He endured, there are people who have died far more painful than that. But when He was on the cross God had left Him, that is Hell. Beeing Godforsaken is the defenition of Hell. God is still everywhere.But by doing so, all the sin of this world could be laid upon Him. All you have to do is accept His sacrifice, and you will be saved! So easy huh? Then the life of serving Him will follow, which is the most exciting life a person can live! There is more to this world than meets the eye!

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

I decided to continue the icon pack due to so many people that fav'ed it. I made a list of programs people missed in the comments. If you have anything to add please reply! Should I make game icons for some games???

wauw, I never suspected that people would like them this much! A daily deviation. I never knew what happened to me when I logged on. 480 messages. I was like... WHAT? Probably a maintenance problem or sumtin cuz they were doin that. LOL, my pageviews went up with about 1500. o_O I still dont believe it...

Wee, I'm done with the transformation project, got some awesome grades!!! Have to do a project about myself now... Doin it Chibi style! Completely new for me though... Never tried this in my entire life.. If ya wanna see progress.. keep watching my scraps... Wish me luck!
